People are funny and in the most tragic situations when comedy erupts from nowhere it can turn on its head within the space of a second or a minute. You’re laughing one minute and you’re crying the next and that’s just life for me and that is what people are like.

Comedy was why I got into acting the first place. Peter Sellers was a huge influence on my wanting to act. I grew up with him and found him hysterical. The Pink Panther films were an inspiration from my earliest childhood days when I was watching them with my brother and my dad.
